There are so many moments these days that I wish I could capture forever. Very simple things that remind me of how blessed I am. Here are a few from this week:
*Brooklyn sitting up at the dinner table with us for the first time, trying out rice cereal, and giggling at her brother across the table.
*Jack running out of his bedroom and straight to the front door first thing in the morning, saying "I play Roman?" (referring to hanging out with his little-man buddy, Roman Barton).
*Jack spotting and announcing every single windmill between Gilbert, Iowa and Northfield, Minnesota.
*Brooklyn's face when she saw Jeremy for the first time after three days of being away.
*Jack pushing his bike down the sidewalk, wearing boots that are too big and a helmet that's too small.
*Jack mooing at the cows at my Grandpa's farm.
*Brooklyn laughing hysterically at Jack, while he's trying to pick on her.
*Jeremy doing push-ups over a giggling baby.
*Jack bringing me a bouquet of dandelions with great excitement.
*Jack saying "Jesus loves you" in his sweet toddler voice.
It's in these moments that I am reminded of God's love, creativity, and sense of humor. (Perhaps I'll put down the moments that remind me of His justice and judgment in another blog...) And I am so thankful that I have the privilege of being a wife and a mother. Oh, how I love my family!
